Comment on this post and I will choose seven interests from your profile. you will then explain what they mean and why you are interested in them. post this along with your answers in your own journal so that others can play along.

Adam Hills
Comedian and host of Spicks And Specks. I hadn't really heard of him before Spicks and Specks however I love his enthusiasm for music and talking to the show's guests, no matter who they are.

Crossover fic
I love crossovers. They give you something that you can't get officially either on TV, in movies or in books. There is a world of possibilities. It can also get you hooked on fandoms that you haven't read before. The first crossover I read was probably The Night Of 100 Stars by Robert A. Black. Funny and engaging, just a fabulous read.

Enough Rope
Andrew Denton's interview show. I think his the best interviewer around. He's so interested in people and what they have to say. It doesn't matter who they are.

Lord Of The Rings
I have to admit, I haven't read the books. I have a copy of it, I just haven't read it yet, although I'm sure I will one day. I loved the movies though. They're so epic and I love high fantasy.

NCIS
NCIS, hmm. I like the humour, the characters and that the show focus' more on the cases than the agents - although these is some of that, but after five years that's not surprising. I think Gibbs, Ducky and Ziva are my favourites.

Spicks And Specks
Popular music trivia show in Australia, now halfway through it's fourth season. Funny show, I love the wide variety of guests who have been on. From rock and pop artists to opera singers or conductors to people from acts from years past to actors or comedians. Substitute is probably my favourite game. It really shows who can really sing, whether they are rock singer or opera singer or comedian. Some are really good and some are surprisingly bad.

I think one of my favourites has been Tim Minchin and his Adam Hills song or his Alan Brough song.

Working Dog Productions
Working Dog have produced some of my favourite TV and movies. The Dish, A River Somewhere - I don't even like fishing but this show was more about getting there, than an actual fishing show. The Panel, Thank God You're Here. I'm more likely to watch something from them without knowing anything about it, than any other group out there - something I rarely do. The Hollowmen starts soon on the ABC, I'll have to check that out.
They've also released a few fake travel books - Molvania: A Land Untouched by Modern Dentistry, Phaic Tan: Sunstroke on a Shoestring and San Sombrero: A Land of Carnivals, Cocktails and Coups.
